Package: release.debian.org
Severity: normal

Please unblock package yforth.  This version is a new upstream release
that fixes bug #687348 which was originally filed as RC but which I
downgraded to important.  The claim was that yforth had a non-free
license, which I did not completely agree with.  But the upstream author
offered to re-license from a home-grown license to GPL v3 to eliminate
any ambiguity in his intentions.

The only other changes made by upstream were to roll in various patches
I and others had provided in the many years since the last yforth
upstream release, including a few suggestions I made on improvements to
the Makefile to allow me to enable hardening build flags, etc.

Since yforth is a leaf package that nothing else depends on, I hope you
will agree that allowing it in to wheezy even if for no other reason
than to eliminate the license freedom ambiguity pointed out in #687348
despite my downgrading of that bug to a non-RC severity is a good idea.

Thanks for considering this!

Regards,

Bdale

At this stage, I have to agree. Apologies for not having resolved this
one way or the other earlier.

As an aside, yforth currently has out-of-date mips / s390 binaries in
unstable (from 0.1beta-23) because, despite the change in -22 to use
"any" in the architecture list, the package is still in
Packages-arch-specific.

Adam
